here's former governor rick scott. here he is. >> he's got to wear a mask, got to social distance, get more information out. i hope everybody takes this seriously because we haven't beaten this. >> so, wear masks, social distance. okay. we know these things. but when the president of the united states hears rick scott, ally, say this, does it have any impact at all? >> no. president trump's not going to change. rick scott said he hoped he would change his message, his tone, his strategy. donald trump has instead doubled down in the middle of a triple crisis, economic, racial, and covid to try to be more divisive. the thing is what rick scott and other republicans are telling him is this isn't helping. it's not helping the country. the numbers are rising. it's not helping his re-election numbers. his poll numbers are dismal. he's not only losing by digit double, he's losing independent voters, women by more than to points. it's a direct approach to this. tone comes from the top and denial is not a strategy and yet that'

here to help us figure it out florida republican senator rick scott.ood to have you. a lot of pressure on governors in florida and texas to do something to curb the rise in cases seem to be more than additional testing. what are your thoughts? >> you sort of have to do both things. you have to open up the economy and do it safely live. everybody has to understand we've not beaten this so you have got to wear a mask. you have got to social distance. employers have to figure out how you make the employees safe, how you figure the customers are safe. how you educate people where problems are. we need plenty of information where the cases are. where we see local transmissions so people can make good, informed decisions. we have to do this every day. we got to be talking about what we can do to be safer every day. charles: you know it is interesting, you and i had a conversation right before the big spring, spring break season and you know, a lot was made about all these students from all around the country going down to florida, frolicking, having fun but

senator rick scott is standing by with reaction, but we began with kristin fisher. she is at the white house for us, but first let's go to casey stegall. >> and a growing number of states you just heard about this at the white house press briefing, more young people account for the majority of the new infections that we are seeing across the country. in california for example more than 57% of positive cases are now between people that are age 16-49 years old and it's a driving force behind the governor's decision to close bars and seven counties including los angeles. the median age of covid patience in florida is 34 years old. officials have ordered beaches to close for the upcoming fourth of july holiday weekend. that includes miami, the florida keys, and palm beach. in texas 20-59-year-olds make up the largest portion. if there is a bit of good news, mortality and hospitalization rates are significantly lower among younger generations. health officials and houston say they are seeing a larger number of people in that age group that have been admitted to the icu.

they did a study and found under governor rick scott who is now senator, governor rick scott, his commission said that they had over, the ones who were republicans, the republican felons who came to them, they got their voting rights back. those who were democrats, not so much. so it is supposed to be fair and natural. they've paid their debt to society. the weight you have civic engagement the republican legislature followed the path to, we are going to be in a heap of trouble. what they came up with this first they tried to get around the language but it was pretty clear so then they sent you know what, serving your term means also paying the fines and restitution and court is and all of that. once again we have a poll tax because if you don't pay your property tax and if you don't pay your sales tax, can you vo vote. so depending upon your wallet it depends on whether you can vote. that is what florida has done because these fees can go to the figures and if you have been incarcerated making pennies a day then paying a figure is impossible and you are blocked from voting simply because yo

want to bring in florida senator rick scott. t, i know you're very fiscally conservative and there is already some pushback to the notion there should be anymore federal help and certainly those folks who believed that before that 8:30 jobs report on friday believe it even more but there are still 20 million people unemployed. there is still a lot of damage out there particularly around the country. my idea is that, maybe you don't call it relief but instead stimulus. certainly president trump wants it to happen. do you think it will happen? >> first charles, numbers on friday were big. feeling we're starting to head in the right direction. i think kevin is right. put out a lot of money. we need to monitor where we are. i think things we need to look at, people run employed, how can you help them, how we get them back to work. did the extension last week that was right thing to do. how to provide liability protection for first-responders and small businesses so we feel comfortable as small businesses are opening and how we hold c

gordon i would like to start by getting you to respond to what we just heard from the center rick scott saying the u.s. has evidence of aging is trying to sabotage efforts to get a coronavirus vaccine. do you have any insight into what this evidence is. >> was senator scott told that he was referring to if evidence from the intelligence, which he did not specify. we also know that in the middle of, the fbi in the unit of the department of homeland security jointly issued a warning that china was in hackers are trying to steal coronavirus vaccine information from americans institutions. so clearly, the senator is right when he talks about china trying to steal vaccine information in trying to hinder american efforts to develop a vaccine. kristen: in the midst of all of this you also have now china weighing in on all of these protests taking place across the country. he recently wrote that and accusing china of trying to have racial tensions here in america and run after that, the secretary of state mike pompeo, calling it a propaganda that is coming from beijing. so how can we understand

you heard it from rick scott essentially saying we need to mitigate the spread of this thing. marco rubio is essentially saying, you've got to wear a mask when you leave your home in order to stop the spread of this thing. that's in stark contrast, and w andrew, between what they're saying and what the president has been saying. it doesn't seem like the president is thinking about the coronavirus at this point. a couple of days ago, he said, we're going to hit 115,000 deaths in this country. we have far surpassed that. i wonder if he's even getting briefed on the spread throughout the country. what do you make about this huge difference about what we're seeing? >> the vigilance on capitol hill when it comes to the virus is very real. i'm there every day among reporters, staffers, and lawmakers alike. everybody's social distancing, everybody's wearing a mask, people are taking it seriously, republicans and democrats alike. you're seeing that contrast on full display lately here. for example, all of the members -- or some of the members are urging governor ron desantis to put in

florida senator rick scott joining me to discuss. senator, good to see you.much of anything to help the states. that is what we hear from mark cuban. that is what joe biden is now saying, governor cuomo is saying that. also pointing his finger at you, despite having a far worse record on the coronavirus than you do. what do you say to all of them? >> first off, let's go to the facts. the facts that congress and the president signed bills to give, spent $2.9 trillion, over $500 billion to state and local. we gave them $150 billion to deal with coronavirus issues. we gave them $11 billion to deal with testing. we gave them $50 billion to deal with medicaids. medicaid costs are coming down. $30 billion to schools. schools are down. we give them almost half of their entire annual revenues for the state. we gave another $500 billion if they want to borrow money. what a lot of people don't realize county health departments are generally funded locally or at the state. in florida we funded them primarily at the state level. so the federal government doesn't run thes

local governments have failed to take necessary action to safeguard their residents. >> senator rick scottns us now. senator scott, thank you i mean, the serious question is how's it going in florida? how's the reopening going? i can't help but think it is a little bit ironic that reopening seems to be correlated at this point with a lot of people going out to demonstrate and protest, and these are very, very strange times that we're in right now, senator. convergence of, well, two crises obviously. what are your thoughts >> it's a tough time i mean, your heart goes out to the george floyd's family. i was governor for eight years just hoping this never happens and i'm glad the president's directed the fbi, the department of justice to investigate and we've got to make sure justice is served. people have a right to protest, but you cannot do it against the police, you can't do it against your community, be can't be looting. that's criminal. so i think we all respect the right of people to protest every mayor, every governor has to step up i've been talking to law enforcement all across the

senator rick scott joins us now. >> you should be manned up what happened. changes, we have to have more accountability and a better training. we can look at these things. the idea that we are going to get more security and the left has gone off the deep end. we have wonderful police, are there bad apples after the wrong thing, absolutely. we got to get rid of them. i've talked to law enforcement and they are disgusted with what happened but if you want anarchy and you want more crime, defunded the police. i'm completely opposed to that. i want more accountability, and i want them to be safe. >> we have the health and well-being and safety which would respond to the killing of george floyd by suggesting the elimination or defunding of law enforcement. and there are some who are using the terminology defunded the police, and not saying do away with our police but they are calling for change. you are wondering what sort of bipartisan change can you agree to in congress. what would you support us in this conversation gets better? >> they shouldn't say defunded.

that that is not the job of the federal government we heard rick scott talking about that, saying that when he was running the state of florida, they didn't get reimbursed for all the money businesses lost during hurricanes certainly this is a different scenario because the government ordered a federal shutdown for businesses in march and so there's an idea logical debate about what responsibility the government has to fill in some of those gaps, but this is going to be a political food fight when the debate begins in just a few weeks time and part of the reason why republicans want to not approach this debate until after a they've returned from their work period in the middle of july is because they'll have so much more data at this point. about what the job market looks like, what consumer spending looks like they want to have that data to know where public opinion lies and a what they need to do >> thank you very much kelly. >> to the bond market now. rick is tracking the action at the cme. ten-year was ticking up a a bit earlier. >> absolutely. all yields are picking up a bit. if y

. >> well, you know, i think rick scott probably was the worst, because i guarantee you -- i know howworks, and the minute that tweet went out, every communication director on the hill got a hold of their boss and said, you need to know what the president just said, you need to be prepared. reporters are going fog come up to you. this is what he said. what are we going to do? and the vast majority of those senators, as you see, the strategy was simple -- you stiff-arm the press, say nothing. for rick scott to stand up there and say i haven't seen it, or for kevin cramer to say, i didn't see the incident. of course he saw the incident. what is he, living in a bunker? maybe he's there with the president, who knows. but it is really now getting critical mass. and these polls are showing it. i mean, i saw yesterday -- i about fell out of my chair when i saw polls in kentucky and in, you know, iowa and in georgia and in texas, where the democrats are surging in these states that we never would have dreamt we had a chance in senate elections. so, now, i will tell you the question i would li

eric: well, you know, some like senator rick scott are accusing the chinese of not doing that.e's what he said in an interview with the bbc saying, quote: china does not want u.s. and england and europe to do it first. they've decided to be an adversary to america and democracies around the world. do you think that's the case, or do you think they have now seen the light and have got, you know, they're going to come up and cooperate? i mean, there are partnerships, business partnerships with chinese scientists, but it's not enough of to cure this and to make sure that they don't do this again. >> well, i think there are two issues here. you know, one the government trying to inhibit another government from getting a vaccine, somehow trying to muck things up. if that's true, that's a super serious charge. i hope it's not true. but when asked for evidence behind this accusation, the senator said he didn't, he thinks he heard it in an intelligence briefing. now, he's not on an intelligence committee, and he didn't have anything else to back it up. so i would be cautious about runa

. >> well, steve let me just ask you about that we had a debate with rick scott yesterday whether you money to places like new york or frankly you talk about a place like hawaii that on its face doesn't seem impacted so much in terms of covid unto itself but therefore but because it relies on tourism all of a sudden economically becomes challenged so you look at it and you say to your self what >> i take a look at it and i'll just give two perspectives we all know there's been a lot of job loss. i think people know that it's hit disproportionately certain industries like hospitality and leisure like food service. but there are other tries that have also been dramatically affected we can think, for example, personal services, barbers, hair cuts, everybody says hey i want to get a hair cut. believe me the people in those industries need support and if you look at what's happened with the paycheck protection program that money has already gone out unevenly if the goal was number of workers per industry, industries like health care that have done okay it's the number one employer but only

rick scott said we've already spent $1 trillion. there is definitely some fatigue that's setting in among legislato legislators, at least some thinking what more can we do, we've already spent this much money. what would you be advocating at this point as somebody who's been in washington and who has worked around policy and looked at initiatives when you talk about job training or trying to help small businesses? what specifically needs to be done >> well, the first thing is to get the rest of the c.a.r.e.s. act right. as part of the c.a.r.e.s. act, the congress appropriated $454 billion to the fed part of which would be used to stand up a main street lending facility the fed has not moved with dispatch on that and the treasury department is really coming up with design limitations that i fear are going to make it less effective. that money's there it's ready to backstop main street facility and the fed could do it. another big issue is community colleges in the country. we could have a massive federal support for community college

departments and first responders we've heard from senator down in florida who talked a little bit, rick scott, about how he's concerned about the amount of money we're spending at the this point. you can under it from different states perspectives where they have been open for business, where they have tried to get back and re-opened things. here in the northeast we tend to look at things different leadership because we've end in the hot zone and shuttered for much longer. had much higher number of cases. i just wonder how do you do that outreach and are you concerned at this point about it not being necessarily a national perspective that's coming at this point >> i actually think there is a national perspective among the business community that they continue to need help. and as i said, one of the big groups i heard nationally is the hospitality industry who feels like they have been among the hardest hit. the tourism via where people who do big venues still are not able to open up and that's true not justin northeast but across the country. i think it's incumbent on all of us and what we'v

what kind of conversations are you having with some of the fiscal conservatives we have senator rick scott ted cruiz and given concerns about the deficit and how much we've spent, what conversations have you had with those individual leaders >> i won't talk about private conversations, but i'll just get a couple of sort of headlines from things i can say. the first is we're talking to lots of different people in both parties and it's something that i think is underreported and under covered. senator mcconnell put out an estimate that the phase 4 deal should be a trillion dollars i presume senator mcconnell is talking to his colleagues. we are thinking of up and down side and we want to wait and see the data. >> you're right the bipartisan has been underreported where do the two sides agree what do they think should be spent on >> i think, again, look being at t the ppp revisions and the phase 3 deal that went through so quickly, in a week or two it shows that when we're focused on things, then we can get things done in a bipartisan manner even though it feels like partisanship is as bad as

steve: when you talk about big crowds, senator rick scott of florida said yesterday when it comes tougust, down in jacksonville, he says that people need to social distancing inside the arena and people need to wear mask and the senator was very emphatic about that yesterday at that tulsa rally, masks were optional. did you see a few, but not many. brian: should be very good natural environment. the president will probably have about 10 events before jacksonville in august. come up with a way to find both sides. ainsley: president wants four debates and biden agreed to three. brian: he will have to come out of his basement. i don't think president trump wants to go to his house. we will have to see. 200 miles of new border wall now complete. the president set to head to arizona this morning to mark the milestone. our next guest will be with him. acting dhs secretary chad wolf joins us live on what this means for border security next. ♪ taking carol of business ♪ it's all right ♪ taking care of business ♪ and working overtime. ♪ can my side be firm? and my side super soft? yes, with t

without team eric is that rick sanchez or santa scott's the course to defund police with the former minnesota governor jesse ventura. what do you make of the argument that maybe we need to start funding other things besides police officers that doesn't mean that all police officers are bad it just means that maybe we ought to mix it up a little bit more. well it also means we need to start looking into the root of the problem and the root of the problem just isn't police brutality the root of the problem is economic brutality too and in all of that when you talk about the funding you know i'd like to add to rick i was a governor or mayor also i was the mayor of brooklyn park minnesota the 6th largest city and there are throwing the cops out and you won't have police protection anymore what they mean is by allocating and pushing farms i think that were scammed new jersey did it and they literally destroyed their whole police force rebuilt it up from the base up and today i heard some figures that crime are stone like 43 percent from what it used to be there and now you've got truly community p

we talked to senator rick scott of florida, josh holly of missouri, they offered more involved and thoughtful comments about what happened. but think you could see that there this did, in fact, over and over and over again happen. and you're right that, you know, a lot of what covering capitol hill has been during the trump presidency has been getting those members of congress to react to what their president is doing. i think it frustrates them because, you know, they feel like they're doing or should be getting recognition for the work that they are doing. but it's really all about this president. but the reality is, and i think the reason why that came across in such a stark way is that the stakes have never been higher here. i mean, they just -- they never have. and, you know, i think that it really makes -- it was a very sharp, certainly, moment i think on the hill that underscores the difficulty that this president has put the entire country in. and, you know, members of his party who do speak out, they end up on the opposite end of nasty tweets. they feel like they'll lose support at h

i worked with rick perry and ted cruz and scott walker, jeb bush, these great governors and marco rubio and always. and all wonderful. i will never forget. i don't know if it was at that moment but when the president started talking about his candidate -- 17 people in the race at that point, that he wanted to drain the swamp. he wanted to return power to the people. you know, this is a man that has never even run for political office before. and then you would see thousands of people coming to hear him speak. this is a politician not having -- now having been on his team a couple of years and attended the rallies with him, and i love to talk through the audience. you will go from a lawyer to a plumber to a single mom, i mean, the convening ability of his vision, of returning power to the people is truly truly remarkable. and so, jake, to your point, it is an unusual time with an unexpected but a president that will never give up and that is relentless and tireless and convicted as he fights for the american people. >> we are quickly running out of time. but we have a couple of other thi

scott, back over to you. >> thanks, appreciate it. >>> another market voice and a big one rick reider black rock chief investment officer he oversees more than $2 trillion in investment and the head of global allocation team youhave to have so many titles rick i can't even get them all out without stumbling over them. >> sorry for making it hard, scott. >> give up one or two. you're still the bond king, all right. >> trying to generate return every day. >> i hear you. you do a good job of it. global allocation fund 62% equities versus 25% fixed income there's really no competition for stocks right now, is there >> no, you framed it right in your conversation earlier about free cash flow, we're dying for free cash flow in the fixed income market and i think as richard said, the fed is not going to let us have any for a while. not just in the treasury market, but you look at the credit markets. i mean, companies are funding today is extraordinary so, we think all equities are not chief almost by any metric although i would argue if you take free cash flow, we use a metric discounted by forward interest rates and b

the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. eric garner michael brown the quon mcdonald samir reiss walter scott freddy gray to mark clark out on sterling the land on castillo stefan clarke welcome john briana taylor and george point. say their names remember their names they're more than just hashtags and their lives mattered. police brutality is so ingrained in american society that it is served its own stripe on the us flag despite calls for justice from blacks who've been treated as 2nd class citizens for hundreds of years in the land of the free and the home of the brave those in the highest places fail to listen blacks are rightfully better tired of being hunted in our own communities targeted because our skin dared to be millimeters but even with all the facts many across america fail to fully grasp police violence that permeates this country protests over george floyd's murder have now gone on for over a week protesters have been met by curfews police officers in riot gear armored tanks in the streets and all of the fixings of a militarized zone though the cop seen with his knee on floyd

investigation, paul manafort and rick gates regularly provided internal trump campaign polling data with the exception that the data should be shared with oligarch pat scott, and on august 2, 2016, manafort and kilimnik had dinner where they states,d "battleground which manafort identified as michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, and minnesota." that would be my home state. when it is your state and you hear these guys are talking about this to russian intelligence, people with ties to russian intelligence, you get pretty concerned. k was indicted by the special counsel for obstruction of justice, but the special counsel was not able to gather evidence on what he did with the polling data. you do not need to be from my state or michigan or wisconsin or pennsylvania to want to get to the bottom of what happened. the least we could do as part of any further investigation into the 2016 election and into our country's interference, what happened with the interference in our election, the least we could do is hear from this witness. wille all of my colleagues support this amendment, and i ask for a rollcall vote. will refer to what senator presley said about the

rick, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> joining me now for more on what we're witnessing across the country is senator tammy duckworth, democrat from illinois. i was struck today that tim scott, one of your colleagues from south carolina, a republican senator, with a few other folks, mitt romney, are talking about some kind of police reform legislation. i was struck by it because generally there's not a lot from the republicans do in the senate other than pass judges. it was striking to me that things have changed so much that they suddenly seem interested in legislating a little. >> well, it's strange, especially since just last week, i asked for unanimous concept to pass my legislation, the independent review act, which is, you know, sets up a grant program to help train police, and include a provision for providing independent investigation of police involved shootings, and police involved killings. and the republicans actually objected to that unanimous consent. so i'm quite surprised that today they're interested. i wonder what happened? >> the president today, i mean, we don't spend a ton of time on the president's tweets on this program. but what he said about this in
